Chapter 83
The wind is fighting for the wind, "The Duke may as well listen, who the Empire sent."
Xing Jin refused to answer.
She could only answer herself, "The one who came was the great sage in the wild."
Xi Huanyan didn't know who she was, but when she saw the ministers and generals present showed a look of shock, she thought this person was quite famous.
Xing Jin: "Has the Fuye Sage come to the Eastern Region?"
"That is, once the wise man in the wild can be able to calm Muzhou."
"Come on, it's the same thing. No matter who he is, when you arrive, you will listen to me, otherwise don't go to Tongzhou." Xing Jin refused to eat softly and looked at the wind tail coldly. "Since the special envoy is here, you can't go back empty-handed and help me pass the official letter. The Tongzhou army has weak combat readiness. On the one hand, it wants to block the Solan Empire and Yinfeng City, and on the other hand, it wants to prevent the Firethorn Guild. I am really powerless. I hope the empire allows Tongzhou to buy weapons from Gaozhou."
The empire stipulated that the duke could have an independent armies and could form three armies with no more than 100,000 people under the empire's permission (this is useless to Xingjin. One of the three conditions for her willingness to accept recruitment is to not limit her troops). However, under normal circumstances, whether it is to fight for the empire or fight privately, the empire will not provide food, grass and weapons.
There are only two situations where states outside the fiefdom can be set up. One is that the empire ordered to open it, which is directly controlled by the empire, and the other is initiated by privately, but the empire participates in the management.
Gaozhou's Arsenal is the second case. It was originally a small workshop built by Yu and a few blacksmiths at the high school. It only created a small number of weapons such as daggers and short knives for sale in the store, so as to promote the characteristics of Gaozhou.
Later, the sale was in short supply. If it was cast in large quantities, it might be suspected of having troops to relied on its own. Gao Zhongyu handed over his share to the empire. The empire reciprocates and ordered him to continue to manage the armour workshop and provide financial support, which led to the rise of the land of weapons.
Gao Zhongyu was cautious in his words and deeds, leaving most of his weapons to the empire, and only handed over a few weapons to a few founding elders in the Arsenal to sell them apart.
So, decades ago, Gu Yan asked the empire for permission and ordered a large number of weapons from Gao Zhongyu.
Today, Xing Jin also made this request.
Gao Zhongyu didn't know what he thought of, but a subtle change appeared in his expression and disappeared in a flash.
Fengxiao had not yet entered the Guards, so she naturally didn't know how bloody the imperial court meeting was at that time, so she agreed readily, "Duke can give me the official letter, I will bring the Duke's meaning to you, and Your Majesty also asked me to ask the Duke a word, "The Duke has been in Tongzhou for three years, why did the invaders occupy Baizhou?"
"Is it too much for the word "let me"? If there is no one, will Suo Lan and Yinfeng City remain unmoved?"
"The Empire asked me to move troops. First, I did not give me the command of the Imperial Army, and second, I did not care about the insufficient staff and weak combat readiness of the army in the state. How do I lead the troops to fight?"
Fengwei has to defend the empire for a few more words. Xingjin doesn't give her this opportunity. "Tell your Majesty that I am in one day, and the Tongzhou is in one day. I can still defend one state. As for other places, I can't do anything."
Fengwei thought that she would ask for military power from the Imperial Army and also made excuses of insufficient food and grass, but she didn't expect that she would be so righteous. She knew why His Majesty was furious when he heard her name.
Your Majesty is not easy to do. She has already met the conditions for opening an independent military academy and taking charge of Tongzhou Zhuori Mansion. She also gave her the privilege of not limiting troops. Any one of them is enough for the jealousy of the Dukes and the marquis to be jealous.
Because of these three conditions, His Majesty did not know how much pressure he had withstood. If he gave her the Imperial Army's military power, he would be spit out.
Fengwei calmed down and planned to talk to Xingjin in private. At this moment, he said respectfully, "The Duke is outstanding in ability, Your Majesty is very relieved. I will convey your request to Your Majesty. The Empire of Ronghua is the world of Ronghua people, and you and Your Majesty have the same intention."
Xingjin raised the wine bottle, "I will not let down the glory given by my father and ancestors."
This welcome banquet finally entered a hypocritical atmosphere of the guests and hosts having fun.
Xi Huanyan ate the cold slices of meat, drank the milk in the wine bottle, and silently reached out to the salty snack.
Xing Jin glanced at the pitiful child and whispered to the nearby servant to bring a cup of hot pork rib soup.
Many people saw this scene and were quite shocked, as if they saw the God of Killing and put on a butcher knife. The murderer picked up a flower and smiled. It was obviously full of warmth, but there was a hint of chill. The duke who was cold-hearted and cold-faced and automatically blocked the seven emotions and six desires was a trick?
Oh, the person who spoils children like this must not be the Duke.
Not to mention the ministers in the half-door hall, the high school Yukawa also had a lot of worries, which made the second half of the banquet particularly harmonious.
On the way to leave the Hall of Light, Xi Huanyan and Xing Jin chatted, "Who is the wise man in Fuye?"
"This person's name is known in the Southern Region and is good at governing the world. He especially believes that ordinary humans are the basis for the prosperity of a place. At the end of the First Emperor, he came to the Eastern Region to be an official, but he could not stand Rong Hua's attitude towards ordinary humans, and he could not change it, so he abandoned his official position and left."
"Then his philosophy is consistent with his mother, no wonder the envoy thinks you won't refuse."
"Not only that, when I was traveling in the Southern Region, I asked Fuye Sage for advice for a while. He was half of my teacher. Outsiders should not know about this. I went there secretly at that time." Xing Jin met the child's surprised eyes and patted her head, "Learning is endless. When you encounter someone you want to learn and have doubts, you have to ask for advice even if you give up your face."
But... it is indeed unexpected that the Empire can invite the wise man from Fuye. Could it be that Xingkui wants to use him to calm the public anger in various places?
But if a wise man in Fuye is adopted as an official, he must compromise with his ideas and improve the status of the common people. Is Xingkui willing to break the ancestral system?
Xing Jin didn't say anything in depth, and she still had to find out some things.
Xi Huanyan remembered her important business, "Mother, I want to learn the art of talisman. Although I have applied for an elective, I have been waiting for too long. Moreover, I am afraid I am not suitable to study step by step. Can I introduce several talisman masters to me?"
"You have a big appetite, and you need a few at once. There are many Fu Ke Masters in Tongzhou, but the only one who can be called everyone is Feidu Grand Secretary. You can perform well in the lecture of Wei Zhi, who teaches Fu Ke's elective, and ask him to recommend you to Feidu Grand Secretary, or after you are promoted to a higher level, choose Feidu Grand Secretary as your supervisor."
Xing Jin said, "The more powerful a person is, the more talented he has. Even as a duke, I cannot order him to accept you as his disciple. How many ordinary talisman masters can invite?"
Xi Huanyan thought for a moment, "Then can I learn some basic principles of talisman shaping first?"
